By Sadia Ahmed and Marcy Miller The days of throwing money into research without clear objectives and goals for getting to market are gone for most life sciences companies. Today, the pressure is on to cut costs and to find ways to bring drugs to market — and to the patients who need them — […]

Enterprise leaders are increasingly confident that rapid changes in the workplace over the next five years will benefit their organizations. More than four out of five respondents (84 percent) to the 2018 Future Enterprise Survey by global corporate law firm Seyfarth Shaw said they were optimistic about their enterprise’s “ability to turn future-of-work changes into a business advantage,” […]

Over the last eight years I’ve read through methodologies, use cases and capabilities and above all – watched robotic process automation (RPA) grow as a solution. I’ve never written anything about RPA so I thought it pertinent for my first-ever blog to write about something close to my heart: complex processes in the context of […]

by Sidnei Falcão I have observed in recent years that digital transformation has been radically changing peoples’ day-to-day work environments and companies’ business scenarios. These transformational developments span social media, 3D printers, Internet of Things (IoT), nanotechnologies, robotics and artificial intelligence, among others. Having worked with methodology and tools for business process management (BPM) since […]

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are supposed to help enterprises become more efficient by streamlining processes and taking over tasks currently performed by those unfocused, under-motivated humans known as employees. For those enterprise workers who don’t lose their jobs to automation and machine learning, smart technologies can be used collaboratively by employees to make […]

The most common argument against the dire predictions that automation, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, cognitive computing, natural language processing, and robots will lead to massive job loss — which already is happening and will continue to do so — is that these technologies will liberate workers from the drudgery and menial aspects of their […]

Artificial intelligence (AI), robots, automation, deep-learning machines — these and similar technologies already have replaced human workers across a number of industries, including retail, financial, manufacturing, transportation, and construction. Not surprisingly, this has prompted concerns about machines taking jobs from people as enterprises seek to increase operational efficiency, lower costs, and reduce their dependence on […]

In the book, “Humility is the New Smart,” authors Edward Hess and Katherine Ludwig examine how technology can effectively replace what was once the monopoly of the human race with robots, machine learning, artificial intelligence, neural networks (and the list goes on). Our authors suggest technology will replace 47 percent of American jobs (there is […]
